Scissor Satchels For Storage Or Sewing On The Go

Sweet Mini Blocks Are Quick To Piece.

These sweet sewing satchels are handy for on the go, and they tell you what’s inside. Make all three adorable bags in a size to fit every kind of notion or sewing accessory, including a quaint button bag. They’re fun to take on retreats, everyone will want one.

 

Just one charm pack is needed to make all 3 plus a little yardage for the background and lining, resulting in a delightful set. Mini blocks sew up quick, and a spray of starch provides stability during construction, and the bags come up neat and crisp. Once blocks are sewn it is all the piecing needed to be done for the front.

The addition of a layer of Pellons fusible fleece provides the body and a layer of protection for accessories inside. Quilt for a little extra charm, easy on a small project, and provides a little practice. Embellish with charms for the zipper pulls, antique ruler ribbon or any favorite. Use a the selvage edge to stitch on a tab.
